I'm scheduled to have this.
You are absolutely right to take someone with you. I had absolutely nobody to take with me and I'm so confused. I have my assessment but I don't understand it and I feel like an idiot to ask the surgeon to explain it again. I live alone and have complete foot drop as well. I just know he said my foot drop is chronic. This is for the pain from everything else done to my back. How do I know to what degree my scoliosis is? I just had a hip replacement two months ago that dislocated the following week with the socket breaking off in my hip and dislocated again. I'm still recovering from it for that reason.
Anyway do you regret getting it done? I am in just constant pain and can't walk without assistance so I have no choice. In fact just sitting in the chair for long is painful.63 M
What am I in for? Thank you.
